DIY Phone Recorder
March 18, 2010
Check out that DIY phone recorder from Muris of elektronika.ba, where it is capable of keeping tabs on all phone conversations under one roof. Of course, it is applicable to homes only and not offices. Nice to know that you won't need to turn it on or off, since it can monitor the phone line any moment the phone is picked up, heading straight to the recording operate automatically. All conversations are stored in the MP3 fil format for easy purview afterwards. Neat, eh? Cheating hearts, beware!

Japanese robot does acrobatics easily
March 8, 2010
It isn't easy to get a robot to move so nimbly and agile even after years of pouring millions of dollars into the lab - like the Honda Asimo. Well, Japanese hobbyist Hinamitetu has something more affordable - that DIY acrobatic gymnast robot is able to perform a mid-air somersault and grab back onto the horizontal bar without ending up being a Humpty Dumpty. You know what they say, "If at first you don't succeed, try again." Well, Hinamitetu certainly tried since his 7th version of the robotis able to perform acrobatics in a snap thanks to a pressure sensor that activates the grippers on contact.

Crazy Mouse mod is a hoot
March 5, 2010
What you see in the YouTube video above will definitely tickle you, as it is one mouse that works otherwise. Why do we say so? Well, it will apparently move away in an attempt to escape the clutches of your hand as you try to grab it. that is made possible thanks to a light sensor which will detect your hand's shadow, where a motor will thereupon turn on for a second or two to manufacture its escape. Perfect for a party trick, and it would be even better whether you ask someone drunk to use the computer. that is a DIY mod, so you can't just waltz into any computer store and pick one up.
